Why you should buy ethical yoga clothing

The manufacturers use sustainable materials that can be reused and recycled.

Production of materials have a very low environmental footprint. They use as little energy as possible, and produces minimum waste.

The products are often certified (such as Oeko-Tex®) meaning no harmful emissions are released into the atmosphere during production.

Ethical companies ensure that the manufacturers of the raw materials practice fair labor and do not run sweatshops.

It’s inspiring that we are now more aware of our responsibility as consumers. When we patronize and buy from ethical companies that think not only of profits, but the welfare of our planet and all life - we encourage other companies to do the same.

How are your clothes made?

Cotton is soft and fluffy. You’d think something that feels good and looks soft and unassuming would be harmless. The product itself is innocent, but the way it’s grown cause harm to people, our wildlife and our environment.

Cotton represents half the fiber used to make clothes, with the other 50% consisting of synthetic products.

It accounts for 10% of total pesticides used and 25% of insecticides used across the globe.

The most hazardous pesticides in the market are sprayed on cotton fields – such as organophosphates and carbamate pesticides.

Farmers and their families are accidentally poisoned when crop dusters spray the fields with pesticides.

The farmers don’t wear protective clothing or masks.

It takes 20,000 liters of water to make 1 kilogram of cotton..

Runoff from cotton fields contaminated with pesticides kill the fish in the surrounding bodies of water.

The spraying of insectide kills even the beneficial insects and other animals, even birds - causing imbalance in the ecosystem.
